Dunno, you don't give us an awful lot of information as to what you did for us to be able to tell what you did wrong... Every time you modify the /etc/lilo.conf file you must run lilo again to update the MBR (or whatever you are updating)... If this isn't the problem, why not post the lilo.conf file so we can see if that's right... What commands are you doing, and what exactly do you expect to happen? Ciao for now, Alex...
